Advocating for our vision and purpose
Advocacy for and with the communities we work with is an important part of achieving our vision and purpose, across the community housing sector in Australia and as a not-for-profit organisation. Our approach is to advocate, educate, and have a strong voice in the issues that matter to our residents, stakeholders and partners.
